After conversion to gas tanker, outward on the Firth of Forth 21/08/1997

Initial steel work for her conversion to an LPG carrier was done on the Wear before she went to Germany for full conversion.
She looks nice afterwards, that foremast should have gone when they removed her middle mast and derricks
Do not know how many crew she carried as an LPG boat but there was lots of spare room when she ran on the coast
